[E]When our days here come to an [F#]end
[D]Wish I could see the [A]future
[D]The same way I see the [A]past
[E]I wish I could draw a [F#]conclusion
[E]Why nothing here seems to [F#]last[F#]

[B]Or an uneducated [E]thought
[B]All I can do here [E]is my best
And be [D]thankful for what we've [F#]got aahh [D]aahh[F#] [D] [E]
verse#2
Why do so many suffer
Oppressed to the end of time
Why does freedom move so slowly
Unable to speak its mind
Some say it's a circle
Others think we live on a wing
Why are promises broken
And some think life don't mean a thing
chorus
verse#3
I hope you can be a child of life
With big dreams for everyone
And know that dying's as natural as birth
And our troubles here, they don't last long
I have worried about many things
Most of which did not come to pass
I hope you find someone to give you love
And that your love will last
